not much to say
meet up with the CLK after the brooklyn bridge getting onto the BQE late Sat/early sun morning around 2:30am
I was just cruising along till the the CLK came up behind me riding my ass. After a 2 mins he pulls along side, and a gun it.
there's some traffice out, not much
I'm in the left lane, up ahead the middle and right lane has cars in it.
Think the CLK was planning on going around.
We both get on it hard and I pull away
and get to the gap in traffic first.
think he's got 340hp? (at the crank)
He has to duck behind me to pass the cars.
after we clear he moves into the middle can and tries again.
I get on the gas again in 3rd at about 70mph?
and pull on him again,
shift to 4th at 6500 rpm and the car surges forward
move traffic comes up
I make the gap and he follows again
As we aproach the atlantic st exit (headed west bound)
he pulls into the middle lane ( I had let off after clearing the last batch of traffic)
the road curves hard to the left and right and dips down
and enters the long straight away thats 20 feet below street level.
CLK backs off hard on the delcined left handed sweeper.
I had braked right before entering the turn, down shited to 3 and acclerated into the sweeper
By the time I exit the "S", he's dropped back about 30 feet
and upshift to 4th and gun it up to 110mph
when the road inclines up and there's another big left tun
tap the brakes and coast through the wide turn at about 80mph
I slow down as he play catch up again
a minute later we come to the big Straightaway over the Gowanus, it's about 3.5 miles of road here (I've gone 165 on my Ninja here before)
here I open it up to about 125~130
fastest I've taken the Lexus so far
the CLK pulls pretty hard but I still walk him easy.
after I put like 10 blocks on him, I hit the brakes cause there's like 1 or 2 cars coming up.
This is the scary part, I'm in the left lane next to the conrete barrier at ~125mph hit the brakes and the car pulls toward the left! :eek3: :ohnoes: :eek:
shit my left side TT caliper must be gripping first
I need to rebleed the right side for airbubbles
then again this is the 1st time I'm testing the TT calipers at this speed
good thing I held the wheel tight :happysad:
